Open Letter To Urban Retreat Center students:
"Learning is not to accumulate or imitate. Put your intention on your attention in order to become a reflective receiver. Do not think or judge. With mindfulness we learn, or look into our body, feeling, mind, and nature." - GM Sam F. S. Chin
As I Liq Chuan students, GM Sam F. S. Chin encourages us to engage in seated meditation to build up concentration power and balance our 'activist' practice. After searching for a suitable discipline the last few years, I've decided to attend a Tergar Meditation Teaching Retreat in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Weekend and Weeklong Practice retreats are to follow upon completion of the 'Joy of Living' Teaching series. This is exciting since completion of one or more week long meditation retreats are required to complete the I Liq Chuan curriculum.
The Tergar International Meditation Community, under Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is a worldwide organization with an active group right here in Tucson. I plan on attending these retreats regularly and invite students to join me.
As many know, I often cite recent brain science that supports our complete mind-body training approach. The most actively conscious minds ever measured belong to Tibetan Buddhists while performing 'Harmony Meditation'. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is, in fact, one of the subjects of the oft mentioned studies.
I seek to develop a long term relationship with theTergar group.
Any questions not in the Tergar FAQ should be directed to me.
Best regards,
Kelley Graham
